Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I examine Black history and the Black experience through discoveries in literature, politics, philosophy, art, food and more. It's a great adventure with lots of inspiration and a few surprises along the way!

Violence was actually the principal means used to disenfranchise African Americans and to keep them from voting or running for elected office. The Ku Klux Klan (founded in Kentucky in 1866) was formed with the purpose of terrorizing African Americans who acquired economic and/or political power, particularly focusing on Blacks who tried to vote. But “citizens councils” and other groups used violence to disenfranchise African Americans.

We will examine some marches from the past. Some of the marches are VERY famous and iconic. Others are not-so-famous or widely-known. However, the common thing about all of these marches is that they were very effective in achieving their goals.
